CHURCH DICTATIoN.
The Roman Catholic Bishop of Leim.
burg, in Hesse- Nassau, Prussia, has for
hidden the clergy of his diocese to take
part in any agitation against the septen-
nate bill. He declares that In view OF
the recent note OF Cardinal Jacoblni CIV
ing expression to the Pope's wish that
the Catholics OF Germany help the posi-
tion OF the Papacy by assisting Prince
Bismarck to carry his bill and
thus secure his friendship and
influence, the newly elected member
of the Centre party in the Reichstag for
LeImburg must not be impeded by anti
election pledges from complying with
the wishes of the Vatican. 1t Is believed
that all the other German-Catholic Bish-
ops will pursue course similar to that
OF the Bishop of Leimburg.
CARDINAL JACoBINI's LETTER.
The Munich Algemeine Zeitung pub
fishes Cardinal JacobinPs letter to the
NunciO at Munich. 1t is dated Jan. 3.
The Cardinal says that in view OF the
impending revision OF the church laws,
the Pope desires the Centre to support
the septennate bill in every possible way,
and concludes: at is we'll known that
the government attaches the greatest
Importance to the passage of the bill.
If by it's adoption its should be
found possible to avert the dan
ger Of war in the near future, the
Centre would render great service to the
fatherland and to the cause Of humanity
in Europe by supporting the bill. In a
contrary case the hostile attitude of the
Centre would be considered unpatriotic,
and the dissolution of the Recnstag
would cause embarrassments and uncer-
tainties to the Centre party"
Cardinal Jacobini lnstructs the nuncio
to urge the leaders of the Centre to In-
fluence their colleagues in favor of the
septennate and assure them that such a
course would greatly satisfy the Holy
Father.
ALL TURNING TO B0ULANGER.
the Berlin POSTS Paris correspondent
writes: "a deceptive calm followed your
recent article referring to Gen. Boulan-
ger, but he is now more powerful than
ever. Even his former opponents are
turning toward him as the rising sun,
finding 1t impossible to struggle against
the growing popularity Of The man who
is regarded by the masses as the
leng-expected liberator. The whole
country is anxious for revenge, and is
arming silently, but with the evident be-
lief that the hour is coming" The Post
adds an extract from the Paris Figaro,
AN article signed by Aurelien Scholl, i'm
putting the grossest immortality to Ger
man women. This will raise a storm of
indignant protest in Germany.

gives us a painful impression, because
we can read in its inner thought and final
scope the policy OF the Vatican toward
Germany"
